As a business owner, I am perplexed. Believe me, I have people call and tell me that they received their order and it was the wrong item, or it was damaged and they want a replacement. I say fine, I will contact UPS to investigate a damaged claim or I will issue a call tag for the wrong item. If a person is legit, they will be fine with it. When I hear that the person threw away the item, they are out of luck, sorry.
I had one guy email me and tell me that the cold packs leaked all over his merchandise so he would like a replacement. I told him I didn't understand how anything could leak, they were solid cold packs that can't leak but I would send UPS over to check out the damage. What time would be good for him to get a visit from UPS? Never heard another word from him.
There are scammers in this world. I don't know you nor does the owner of this OP. There are people who will do anything for free stuff. If someone says they threw out the product, a red flag goes up immediately. Can you imagine buying a sweater from Lands End, and then calling them up to tell them it was the wrong item, you want a new one, and you threw out the sweater? C'mon!
First you said they sent you God knows what. In the same sentence you said you called them and said they had given you Aleve and tylenol. Which is it? If what you got was tylenol and Aleve, why would you throw them out? You said that you did that because there was no labels on the bottles and you were afraid someone would come over and see them and report you? You don't have a cabinet with a drawer in it anywhere in your home? And why would anyone get arrested? If you have tylenol or aleve in an unmarked bottle, do you think that you would be arrested for having OTC meds in an unmarked bottle? Really?
Sorry, I just have my doubts here. You also lied to the owner and said you brought the bottles to your attorney? If you are lying about that, where do you draw the line? What is the truth and what is a lie here?
If you were ripped off than I feel bad for you, but again as a business owner, I'd say too bad, so sorry. You can't expect anything as far as I am concerned if you throw out the evidence. Anyone can say they got the wrong meds. If you are not willing to send them back, why should the owner believe you? See what I mean? everyone would be calling in to report this and expect "replacements".
